SIBO (Small intestine bacterial overgrowth) Explained in 60 Seconds

Why does food stay in the small intestine longer than it should???

What’s the second best option medication to treat it??? The first one is way too expensive and not covered by insurance…

Why do people keep saying this is a man who ate there dad?

I cured my Sibo symptoms by eating nothing but fruit and fruit juice that I juiced myself for two weeks straight. No more symptoms at all while eating only fruit and when I started back eating normally, I had a normal amount of gas but no bloat and nothing like before. I cut out the things that caused the most gas and bloat which was Kale, seaweed and over eating nuts. I don’t eat meat at all and I think Carnivore diet only works as long as you’re on the diet but will return after you start incorporating other foods. It only took me two weeks to cure although I recommend going as long as you can. The fruit only was an immediate relief from SIBO symptoms. I hope it can work for you too

Is SIBO connected to Colon Cancer?

Please don't forget to mention, 75 percent of people treated have reoccurrence. This is normal. Treat again.

Can Helicobacter Pylori cause SIBO ?

Oregano oil will treat SIBO without killing beneficial bacteria.

Wouldn’t it make sense to tell you what the cheaper options are than to simply mention that 🤦‍♂️

Stool test show this?

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Does it stand to reason that SIBO could be caused by the destruction of good bacteria after taking a 3-4 week course of Augmentin for persistent sinus infections?

Have this

I poop once or twice a week, sometimes longer. Is this bad for me?

I had this a couple months ago and I got sick so many time over 12 months, it cause my immune system to shut down 😅. Anyways took a boat load of antibiotics and I'm good now

The way you said "So why do people get it?" makes it sound like people purposefully buy it or something.

Man wouldn’t it be great if insurance just, insured?

I have scleroderma and we get sibo alooottttttttttt

Please slow down, & take a breath 😂😅.

Mine is very extreme. I lose weight in minutes in the face. I feel like lava, itching, sometimes I can’t breathe. Constantly hungry, constantly always feels like I gotta go to the bathroom. I can’t do normal activities or anything.

Can it cause chronic constipation?

I went to the only doctor in my very populous area that has the type of equipment that can take samples during endoscopy and even he couldn't do a culture. Even when covered by insurance the endoscopy (which was only going to take tissue samples) was going to cost me $800).

So I don't know who's actually doing those cultures, but let's just say it's not what I would call accessible in the US. Breath testing was accessible, but not covered by insurance at all. So right now both testing and treatment is highly limited despite the fact that IBS (which is probably mostly due to SIBO) is extremely common. I've basically had to both diagnose and treat using antimicrobial herbs, which are expensive but some of which are quite powerful. Even though I can keep it in check like that, I haven't found anything that helps remedy the problems in motility (and trust me, neurologists are just not there yet). I'm glad it's being considered a real condition now at least (by most), but medicine has LONG way to go to help people like me.

rifaxamin rarely cures this

Hey dr if u get antibiotics how can u stop it from coming back? Just eat healthy or is there something specific u should follow

High dose Oil of Oregano is a WONDERFUL way to fix this, just be sure to follow up with kiefer to reculture!

Doc out here educatin & doin The Lord’s work. Thank you!

And just like every other doctor, this guy knows absolutely nothing, rifaxin only solves 50% of the cases and then most of the people actually relapse so start giving us a natural remedies instead of these stupid medication’s that don’t work cause all these doctors know absolutely nothing

Butt tube or breath test... 🤔 I think I'd go with the breath test.

Can this be caused by food poisoning?

It's crazy how common SIBO diagnoses even though it is so poorly understood. I finally beat it after a year of trying Xifaxan, the low FODMAP Diet, and various herbal solutions that have been tested clinically. I've documented my struggles with it including my most recent breath test on my channel. Anyways, thanks for this really informative video.

OH MY GOSH YES! I got diagnosed with SIBO a couple of years ago (couldn't get the antibiotics cause insurance and money, so I'm just using FODMAP to manage the symptoms until I can get the antibiotics) but I'm so glad to hear SOMEONE talking about this!

So many doctors I've seen (in non-GI fields) had no clue this was even a thing.

I think I have a really severe case of SIBO(I have got all symptoms and have lost lots of weight). I found out about it the other day. I have been waiting years to get diagnosed with something and I think this is it. I already take probiotics so that's good. I reckon I've got post infection IBS too. This video really helped me understand SIBO more. Thanks.

Don't get that prescription. It's the price of a road bike, and the pills are impossibly huge. They need to stop suggesting it or complain to the manufacturer.

Lost me at "antibiotics"

You explained in 60 seconds what other struggle to explain in 10minutes.

Where a can make thet test

What's the difference between SIBO and diverticulitis?

Keep saying your big words funny man

And.....those would be???

studying for step 2 and this was perfect!

I wish more docs knew how to treat this

Diet, diet and more diet saved my GI. 💜 Eating healthier now 😋

I'm dealing with this while pregnant. I read online it's because progesterone loosens the muscles in the body to prepare for birth. Intestines just get caught in the cross fire

I'm so glad you're doing this video, I have recurring SIBO and I've never seen anyone say anything about it!

Thank You very informative ❤️

Can gastroparesis be a factor in SIBO?

Sigh... sibo is my name :(((

Could an umbilical herniation cause or worsen SIBO?

Would love to hear your thoughts on FODMAP diet

Oregano would be the antibiotic choice. But elemental diet for 2 weeks works better than anything.
